Has nothing to do with the player himself, just embarrassing Sean Burke is the best an organization can throw out there Opening Day. If you didn’t announce the starter until the day of the game, 90% in attendance would say “Who?” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopek Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Huh. Very cool for him. Even though I thought Davis Martin deserved it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I thought it would be Davis Martin, but sure, throw the guy with stuff. I suppose the online people who were really concerned about Martin Perez being brought in to start opening day can calm down (not here, as much as Twitter).

Jake Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Of the 4 members of the rotation, it's hard to for me to understand how it wasn't more deserved by any of the other 3. But I guess it doesn't matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fielder Jones Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Second straight year we are going with the pitch data over all else. Martin Perez has the experience but nothing on the page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Would probably have given it to Davis Martin as an organizational persistence/perseverance/resilience award...but this is fine too. Best pure stuff in the OD rotation. Unless you include Shane Smith, who has also owned a spot all spring long based on his performance as well as radar gun readings.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I'm definitely on team Burke. He's got a shot. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Wonder if they"re considering a six man rotation??? or actually did promise B.Wilson starting spot/opportunity because no way Shane Smith isn't one of the five best guys this spring...that said, only 90 ip last season.

But I could have understood Perez or even Shane Smith; Cannon not so much. Martin has been in the organization longer and has been untouchable in ST. I would really like to know the logic behind this decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been to a couple home openers, nothing quite like it. Friends of ours invited us to go with them to Detroit's home opener, which happens to be against the Sox.

nrockway Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Good for him, that's awesome, these 'video reveals' are always touching. Wouldn't have been my pick though. I figured it was Cannon's job to lose -- and it seems like he did lose it -- but then my second choice would've been the veteran Perez who has produced some nice numbers this spring and is, well, a veteran. Third choice was Martin, pretty neck and neck with Martín, but he's barely pitched this spring, is he injured? Anyway, I think going into the season that none of these guys particularly shines above the other, so maybe it's cause for optimism that Burke comes out of no where to get the role. Maybe he didn't come out of no where, he was awesome last year in the short time be was with the MLB club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I think worrying about who the opening day starter any season is an over reaction. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 10 months ago it looked like he'd never make the bigs. Pitching for a rotten team does have its perks.:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
